Went to pick up a bagel w/ lox this morning and the bagel place was blaring “Right Down The Line” by Gerry Rafferty & followed it up with Rick Springfield’s “Jessie’s Girl”. A+ on morning music selection.

All of this is great but the best part is there was a bid by someone using Pol Pot as their online handle.

I’m a little surprised that, in 2025, people still care who the Time Person Of The Year is.

This will probably be disappointing but I thought I’d at least give it a shot.

Sherrone Moore should have just punched out a cop like Gary Moeller did.

I probably should have just stopped watching Michigan football after ‘23 because it’s now obvious to me that it was never going to get better than that.

Logged in to work & one of my managers posted on Teams that he had just resigned, effective immediately. I have always said that if I were going to go out like that I’d just walk into work wearing a fez and no pants.

The University of Michigan’s men’s basketball team operates on a single gear and that gear is “steamroll”. #hail #goblue #michigan #basketball #wolverines #maizeandblue #yourteamsucks

I wish I had it as easy as our dog.

A ton of new Blue Notes dropped recently for the holidays & I picked up a few. I had been waiting for the McLean & Byrd for a while & had been iffy on the live Silver but grabbed it anyway. #bluenote #rerelease #newvinyl #jazz #bop #hardbop #bluenoterecords #records #vinyl #lp #nowspinning

You know it’s serious when the Kitchen Aid mixer is put to use.

My 13-year old future stepdaughter just came up to me and asked, “I need something new to study for school: should I study dreams or communism?”

Maybe the best use of leftover turkey ever: Birria de Pavo.

I am a 4-star admiral in the War on Christmas™️ and I have to see this thing everyday for the next 8-10 week. All I want to do is throw it in the dumpster.

Worst thing about being from Detroit? The Lions.

One of things I’m most thankful for is that there are no Thanksgiving songs.

Happy Detroit Lions Day!

St. Louis-style pizza is an abomination and must be stopped at all costs.

Now Spinning: A mono reissue of this total barn burner from ‘72. Aside from the cutout, it’s in very nice overall condition and sounds killer. One of my all-time fave Blue Notes. #bluenote #jazz #hardbop #sax #vinyl #record #bluenoterecords #jazzsky #recordcollectors #bop #usedvinyl

Ordered a molcajete for the 1st time ever tonight because it was the special at a local fave Mexican place. I did not know it could feed 4 people.

The Detroit Lions are going nowhere this season but beating the lowly Giants is definitely better than losing to them.

These are… Not bad. A solid B+.

The Nuzzi-RFKJR texts only prove that porn is better left to professionals.

My fiancé hopes everyone has a nice day. #docmartens #shoes #smileyface #boots #smile #smiley #docs

The Onion sees into my soul sometimes.

I’m tired of the same ol’ Thanksgiving dinner. I want THIS.

Fried chicken date night at Grace Chicken & Fish.

Michigan has perfected the art of winning ugly against Northwestern. #michigan #wolverines #goblue #hail #victorsvaliant #maizeandblue #wingedhelmets #yourteamsucks #football

Must-see TV.

Welcome to St. Louis.

1/2 Now Spinning: A 1st pressing of this forgotten acid jazz gem from ‘97. US3’s 2nd LP from Blue Note is a total banger. #nowspinning #bluenote #vinyl #jazz #acidjazz #hiphop #us3 #jazzsky #record #recordcollector #vinyladdict #sampling #bluenoterecords #usedvinyl #groovy #funky

Follow up. THIS is the most insane two-wheeled mini toy I’ve ever seen: a motorcycle on a sheriff’s trailer that appears to have been impounded for double parking in front of an erupting volcano. #motosky #toy #matchbox #hotwheels #motorcycle #bike #volcano

I’d like to say this is the weirdest 2-wheeled Hot Wheels I’ve seen, but it isn’t. #motosky #hotwheels #toys #scooter #escooter #honda

My fiancé overheard a house painter telling his co-worker that he was “saving up for a ‘cheerleader wife’”. What’s the going rate for cheerleader wives these days? Tanning sessions? Capped teeth? New boobs?

It’s November and I’m sitting on my front porch in suburban St. Louis right now wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts drinking a beer. #climatechange

We are all New Yorkers today.* *Going to grab some bagels and lox, brb.

My riding season is officially over: pulled in after a nice long ride today to top off the tank and add in some Sta-Bil. #motosky #harley #harleydavidson #motorcycle #bike #ride #softail #streetbob #bobber #purple #fall #fxbb

Michigan and the Detroit Lions both played bad football his weekend but at least Michigan managed to beat lowly Purdue.

<In my best Glenn Danzig voice> I remember Halllloweeeen…

I’m often asked, “What’s your favorite Blue Note?”. Here’s my Top 10: #bluenote #bluenoterecords #jazz #bop #avantgarde #records #lp #vinyl #recordcollection #vinylcollection #top10 #postbop #souljazz #favorites #list #session #vinyladdict

Just finished woodshedding in my basement with my “garage rock” cymbal set up (a mix of Zildjians, mainly vintage from the 50s to maybe 10-15 years ago).

Ventured back towards my old neighborhood early this morning for some donuts. Bonus: I get to see one of St. Louis’ all time best neon signs. #donuts #stlouis #missouri #breakfast #neonsign #bakery

The saviors of my weekend. #goblue #hail #maizeandblue #victorsvaliant #yourteamsucks #fuckstate #paulbunyan #michigan #wolverines

Now spinning: A ‘70’s stereo reissue of this, one of my favorite live jazz dates. Aside from the cutout, it’s in great overall condition. #jazz #bop #hardbop #bluenote #livejazz #vinyl #album #record #bluenoterecords #music #usedvinyl #vinyladdicts #recordcollectors #usedrecords #stereo

Pro sports really only asks 2 things from its players: 1. Don’t get involved in gambling. 2. Don’t do performance enhancing or illicit drugs. And a good number of these geniuses insist on doing one or the other (and in some cases, maybe both).

Best thing I’ll do all day is block the Guided By Voices Lyrics account on here.

Now Spinning: the new Tone Poet. I’ve been waiting over 30 years for this material, which I have a couple 45s of, but 90+ of this I’ve never heard on vinyl until now. #jazz #r&b #bluenote #bluenoterecords #45s #vinyl #nowspinning #records #sax #tenorsax #jukebox #vinylporn #recordcollectors

I’m obviously not an artist but my message is on point.

This came in the mail. I had no idea this still existed.

Now Spinning: A Toshiba/EMI reissue of this from the early ‘90’s. Older vinyl of this session has been the hardest of Roach Blue Notes for me to find in good condition. #jazz #souljazz #bluenote #vinyl #records #nowspinning #oldrecords #usedvinyl #oldrecords #hammondb3 #jazzorgan #organ
